Hm, on my emacs 21.2 and 21.3, it never seems to get activated in the minibuffer in the first place for some reason, but i will go ahead and provide something like an "expand-in-minibuffer-p" option, and disable it by default. > > I wonder if dh-complete *must* be used. dabbrev-expand seems work to just > as well and I already have it bound to a convenient key. Ah, I don't understand dabbrev.el too well, so I was not sure if dabbrev-expand will expand to the same completion as shown by dabbrev-hover.el (which, of course, dh-complete does, by construction.) dh-complete also makes the code general enough to allow use with other mechanisms like hippie-expand, as suggested by Trey Jackson privately. > And finally, correct instances of '(keymap) with (make-sparse-keymap). > Kevin Rodgers thanks, done in 0.2dev already, with help from Uwe Brauer. > > If you don't need the tooltip feature in the minibuffer, then why the > need to redefine tooltip-show?

One thing I don't understand is why fancy dh doesn't work when in -nw mode (emacs -nw). Everything in the code/edebug suggests that we are in the right mode (dh-fancy-doing-mode), yet it doesn't work.. even when I do the following for debugging: (define-key dh-fancy-doing-mode-map (kbd "t") 'dh-complete) (setq dh-fancy-doing-mode-string " DEBUG") and then try "t" for completion. I would be in the dh-fancy-doing-mode, yet t will self-insert... strange.. If anyone knows, please do share.. (manual M-x dh-complete still works) DG http://gnufans.net/ --
